Michelle and I went to her cousins wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and an ideal day for a wedding. I was in tears when that cute couple was doing their vows. It was really emotional.

Then after the ceremony was over, each person was to take a rock and wish good luck to the new couple and throw it in Lake Michgan.

Well Michelle and her infinite baseball throwing abilities, managed to throw the rock straight up in the air and nearly taking out the priest and some other bystandards.

All in all, it was a fantastic wedding with lots of good drunken conversations. Even a great little video shot of me congradulating the bride and groom who I dont even know.

My friend JD decides to put on a charity Karaoke competition, which basically turned out to be the party of the year for Ave Maria. I had such a good time there that night as everyone did. He had jugdes that critiqued you after your performance, similar to what American Idol does.

My song for the night was Finch - What it is to Burn. And basically I was the opening act. So immediately I downed my long island to get the jitters outta me. For sure none of the judges had ever heard this song and it begins with a horrendouse scream of "SHE BUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRNSSSS!!!!!!!". That totally got the attention of the crowd and I actually didnt sound too bad. I was having a lot of fun doing my Brandon Boyd rocker dance and at one point I fell on the ground (people thought it was part of the act, but the reality was that the long island took over). For me its a really emotional song, that I love. Overall, the judges were pretty . . . Read More..

well i dont go out to concerts very often.. even though i should as im huge into music.. just something i never did.. well i just recently went to a taproot concert with some friends and coworkers.. the coolest part of it is that my boss john went with us.. he stood out though.. he was the only one wearing dress atire.. everyone probably figured he was high class undercover CIA material! dave showed up out of no where with this huge ass beer.. it was in an oversized can or jug.. turns out he had three of them.. HAHA that explains why he ran upstairs to chase after the lead singer holding firmly with drunken confidence two peace signs.. hes special.
they played a great show.. i need to get my ass out to more concerts

hmm dave has asked to take walks this week which have been awesome. i just remember walking outside after being locked in the office all day and taking a deep breathe of air and remembering how blissful it was.. i think everyone should take time out of their day and even though its a common day to day thing, they should take a few deep breathes of fresh air to relax and let their mind wonder.

the Sun beat me tonight.....:
well tonight i had quite the experience. i left work a little early to make it home so there would be enough sunlight left in the evening to provide me with atleast an hour and a half of ride time.. according to weather.com sunset was at 9:11 but we all know they are full of shit to begin with. well i took matters into my own hands and decided that since the clouds cleared in the area i was riding that i would gain some time.. little did i know that i pretty much suck.
anyways ive been riding these trails near my house which are amazing. they are the pinckney/waterloo recreation area trails. check out this link to get a feel for how massive these trails are. there are over 70 miles worth of trails.. what im linking you to are the waterloo trails alone.. this doesnt include all of the other trails in the area that all connect. atleast the map doesnt include them.
